She soon realizes her husband Julian ignored the child's cries while entertaining her best friend Sabrina in their bedroom, quickly fabricating bizarre excuses to dismiss the little girl's terrified warnings.
When tampered car brakes and sedatives reveal a systematic scheme to murder her for insurance money and parental inheritance, Vivian fakes her own demise with assistance from a loyal aide. Watching from the shadows as Julian stages a tearful show of grief at her memorial, she prepares to drop conclusive surveillance recordings before the board signs away her father's fortune.
